Michoacan features miles and miles of undeveloped
Pacific coastline between Puerto Vallarta and
Acapulco, ideal for relaxing and surfing. Top
spots include La Ticla, in the northern part of
the state and Rivermouth, north of Caleta de Campos.
The picturesque city of Morelia, Michoacan's capital,
was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site (www.unesco.org)
in 1991 for its magnificent architecture and impressive
symmetry found in its plazas, gardens and atriums.
As the capital of Michoacan, it is one of the
most beautiful colonial cities in America, with
a well-earned reputation as a regional cultural
center that still preserves its structures constructed
between the 16th and 19th centuries.
Patzcuaro
is another one of Michoacan's World Heritage sites
nestled in a lush forest on the shores of an extraordinary
lake. The state is dotted with craftsmen's villages
including Morelia, Ucareo, Charo and Cuitzeo.
Nearby
islands are also worth a visit for a breathtaking
tour of the area's traditions and culture. The
Island of Janitzio, the Basílica de Nuestra Señora
de la Salud and the Museum of Popular Arts, where
you can buy colorful handicrafts made by the Tarascan
Indians, are all renowned for their charming beauty.
